So looked at a bunch of 996 turbo aftermarket deck lids and the fitment is horrible at best. I didn't like the way the stock wing just lays on top of the decklid so I monkeyed with it a little. Came out decent. I don't' think there's a way to make that deck lid look good. I could live with some of the aftermarket ones if the fitment is good. If anyone has a aftermarket wing(damaged) let me know. I would like to try to frankinstein the aftermarket wing part and the OEM lid. That way I could get exact OEM fitment.

 

I have an OEM decklid and wing I will sell. PM me if interested.

 

Final product. It looks ok. Doesn't look like a spoiler sitting on top of a spoiler.

 

Cool to see something new. I'd be interested in seeing pictures from further away.

Not bad for a "hack job"

 

From far away it just looks stock, because technically it is. Up close you can see It's 1 piece.

 

Let's see pics on the car

 

Notin special, just looks stock. It's just one piece that's all.

 

I'm confused. This is a stock lid that you molded the spoiler to?

 

Yes, the point was to make it into 1 piece. For some reason, 996 spoilers(aftermarket), except the techart whale tail for the non turbo, all look like some one stuck a wing on top of a wing. And the fitment, well that's another story. I like the stock but only in the bottom position. But that too looks like you layed a piece of wing on top of a wing. I was just going to take the wing off and filled the holes, but there is a slight protrusion above the 3rd stop light. So I molded the spoiler onto the decklid. Now the fitment is perfect(OEM), and it looks like a one piece, not a double decker.

 

But you lose the additional drag at higher speeds...it's a functional wing. It doesn't rise and lower for cosmetic purposes.

 

Hopefully it is additional downforce and not drag!

 

Yeah, next time I go over 150+, I'll put a brick or two in the engine bay.

 

Downforce...drag...whatever. I do know it goes up at about 75mph and I think it creates more downforce than a couple of bricks?

I'm just saying...your work looks good and I have to agree with the spoiler extended, it looks a little off, but it's taking away from functionality that was designed and tested by Porsche.

 

Now you may have up-force and some instability, just from what I have heard about keping the spoiler down, but no real facts, just talk. You could have just put a Carrera lid on it.???? Anyway, It does look good from those pics. The only thing that matters is if it's how YOU want it. Good work.

 

When extended the Oem wing provides 19 lbs of downforce at 189mph. It's quite a gimmick...
